WTF does COVID have to do with this?? Your understanding of critical thinking is apparently the exact opposite of what the critical thinking process actually is. Lemme try help you:

1) If you make a truth claim (ie. Chemtrails are real and government is spraying us with chemicals, and contrails are actually the chemtrails being sprayed), you have the burden of proving that claim. The burden of proof lies with the one making the truth claim.

2) You prove your claim by presenting objective evidence that specifically supports the claims you are making.

You've done none of this. You've conflated unrelated circumstances. You've pointed to instances of past malfeasance. You've pivoted to other irrelevant points. You've screamed about how I'm not engaging in critical thinking. And finally, you've pointed to completely separate and unrelated topics as part of your effort to be insulting.

At no point did you provide objective evidence that supports your truth claim; that normal contrails are really planes spraying chemicals on us, and the government is conducting a long-term program to spray us with chemicals using planes.

Past examples of something partially similar to the chemtrail claims we're talking about are irrelevant to question of wherever there is currently a long term campaign of government planes spraying the population with "chemicals", and which the conspiracy theorists point to normal contrails as being proof of these chemtrails. And you really need to look in mirror before accusing others of not using critical thinking. Because your entire argument, and pivots, and appeals to past instances of malfeasance are nothing but one fallacious heap of nonsense. Nothing you have provided proves the assertion being made; that the government is currently engaging in a program to spray the population with chemicals, and that the proof is the existence of contrails. Prove your claim. All this other stuff is nonsense and irrelevant to the truth or fiction of the truth claim.

This is irrelevant to what we're talking about. This is another standard conspiracy theorist tactic; pivoting and bringing up other events and circumstances. This is the height of intellectual bankruptcy. You're engaging in all sorts of fallacious reasoning in a desperate attempt to prove your preferred reality. I know you think you have it all figured out, but in your broken process all you've don't is come to the wrong conclusion.

Just stop. You're doing what every conspiracy theorist does. You're starting with your preferred reality, and fishing for nuggets of unrelated truth to disingenuously support the conspiracy theory. The fact that the government did something that partially reflects aspects of your conspiracy theory back in the 50s does not mean there is a mass government program involving thousands of planes on a daily basis going back decades to unendingly spray the population with "chemicals".

Also, the flooding in Dubai was largely the result of atmospheric warming following the general trend of warming. While cloud seeding was employed in Dubai, its effect on water retention in the clouds would have very minor, and not able to cause a flood. This is another case of people who don't understand what they're talking about taking a story containing a nugget of truth, and exaggerating its impact while conflating it with a conspiracy theory they're looking to prove. Chemtrails aren't real, and cloud seeding doesn't have anything to do with it.

Cloud seeding isn't new and it isn't a secret. It also isn't happening all over the place. It's an experimental process for increasing rainfall in areas where drought is negatively impacting crop harvests. It also doesn't generate the contrails that chemtrail conspiracy theorists insist are really the government spraying chemicals into the population. You're conflating two completely things.

Wall Street analyst Tom Lee, who predicted the S&P 500's rise by exactly 24% in 2023, #Bitcoin's 2024 rise to $100k by the end of 2024—both claims which came to fruition—is now predicting Bitcoin's climb to $250k in 2025! This is an exciting prediction. Keep investing, keep stacking! The Lamborghinis are coming!

I'm over 40 and I completely disagree with the notion of chemtrails. The colder it is at the altitude of the plane, the longer it takes for the contrail to dissipate. In the winter months, temperatures are often many degrees below zero. Nothing is melting. The water particles that make up the contrail freeze, and the contrail maintains its composition until it sublimates and dissipates; a process that takes more time than if the temperature was warmer.

I mean it could be a training exercise, or some demonstration of capabilities. Or they could be testing the waters to see how the public responds to a mass UFO event. I don't think it's anything nefarious because if it is, I believe someone would leak to the public. It just doesn't feel like something nefarious. That's my two cents.

I think they're part of some sort of intelligence or defense exercise. If the government didn't know what they were or who was piloting them, they'd have their own choppers in the air, and they'd use those drone deactivation guns to down some of them, and would be actively trying to discover their origin. But they're just acting like it's no big deal. No sense of urgency.

I don't trust Ross at all. As far as I'm concerned, he burned his credibility when he claimed to know the exact location of a massive, buried UFO, and then never released the information because of some ambiguous threat.

He does that all the time. He claims to have spectacular information, and when the time comes to release it, he's always got an excuse why he can't tell anyone. I think he's a fraud and a charlatan who discovered how to exploit the credulous UFO community. I think he's pure bullshit.

Stanton Friedman was the most legit ufologist, and his death back in 2022 was an enormous loss. Now we pretty much just have con men, grifters, charlatans, and frauds.

Getting sex advice from Ayn Rand is one of the most hilarious things I've heard in a long time. 😂

I'm not sure this is true. And I'm definitely not sure that Ayn Rand is an expert on male sexual attraction.

The speed at which they dissipate depends entirely on the altitude and specific meteorological conditions, and temperatures.

Chemtrails aren't a thing. What you're seeing are condensation trails that form and are visible under certain meteorological conditions at certain altitudes. The idea that someone is flying thousands of planes every day as part of some chemical spraying agenda is patently absurd, and has absolutely no evidentiary basis. These are the claims of conspiracy theorists who don't understand what they're seeing, and are concocting elaborate stories that make sense of well-known and understood phenomenon.

I don't see why it matters where the bitcoin was mined. Most blocks are won by massive mining operations, or mining pools. It's an activity that truly knows no boundaries. Technically, the government could setup a huge mining operation of its own to win blocks, but that would be an enormous expense, and wouldn't guarantee winning the blocks. Anyone can discover the right hash. I still just don't see why the geographic location of the mining operations is important, or would justify the expense to the American taxpayers to build and maintain the necessarily large mining farm.

Then you live in a high traffic corridor.

I don't what they're thinking. Remember that Trump said he only wants Bitcoin mined in the United States. That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, and it reflects a total lack of understanding of how bitcoin works. Announcing this Bitcoin reserve plan sounds like it came from the same idiocy that made the comment about bitcoin mined in the US.

If the government starts buying up large amounts of Bitcoin, it will drive prices higher.

That's a pretty nifty avatar!
